About Lisa

Lisa Hess, LPC, helps people regain steadiness when life feels overwhelming.

Background and approach

With 15 years of clinical experience, she supports clients facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, depression, ADHD, relationship and family concerns, grief, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping struggles, career crossroads, and helping clients cope with major life changes.

She brings warmth, honesty, compassion, and a touch of humor to the work, creating a space where doubts and fears can be voiced and explored. Her style is grounded in practical collaboration and deep respect for each person's story.

Lisa draws from client-centered methods to meet people where they are, uses cognitive behavioral techniques to address patterns of thinking and behavior, and incorporates narrative and existential elements to help people find meaning and direction. Motivational interviewing is part of her toolkit for strengthening commitment to change.

She emphasizes patience and self-compassion as foundations for lasting shifts. Clients can expect an encouraging, down-to-earth partner who focuses on solutions tailored to individual needs.

Lisa invites people to explore new ways of relating to themselves and others, with the goal of improving daily functioning and the sense of possibility in life.

Approaches that guide online work and support

Lisa often uses client-centered therapy to create a listening, nonjudgmental environment where the client’s perspective guides the process; this approach helps people feel heard and clarifies personal priorities. She also applies cognitive behavioral therapy to help identify unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and to teach practical skills for managing symptoms like anxiety, sleep problems, or attention-related challenges.

Finding the right approach is collaborative rather than fixed. The therapist will explore a client’s goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked in the past, then combine techniques from different approaches to match individual needs. Clients are invited to shape the plan and adjust it over time as progress and new insights emerge.

Online sessions offer flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. These formats support ongoing contact for skill practice, check-ins between sessions, and consistent access to a licensed professional when scheduling or location would otherwise be a barrier.
